It’s pretty simple to figure once I had a change in perspective; I really wish I figured this out earlier.

Interesting, but it would be more convincing if you linked to actually peer reviewed scientific works instead of a reddit comment. If that is actually the case, at least someone from psychiatry itself would be publicly critical of it.
This goes very similar to medical industry overall. Medicine is not a hard science and history is full of cases when it was harmful.
There are many doctors (including psychiatrists) who push for improving the field in both academic and humanitarian way. However, saying that X is not a science (implying it’s unscientific in some way) simply erodes trust in the industry, stifles research, diverts funding and encourages patients to seek often much worse options
